Golden Corridor
The Golden Corridor is the area around the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway, formerly known as the Northwest Tollway (Interstate 90) in the Chicago metropolitan area.[1] It is coined as such since the corridor generates a "gold" mine of economic profit for communities in the area. Several Fortune 500 company headquarters, office parks, industrial parks, exhibition and entertainment centers, medical facilities, hotels, shopping centers, and restaurants are located along the Golden Corridor. With the exception of the O'Hare area of Chicago, all of the communities located in this region are part of a larger region known as the "Northwest Suburbs".

text: The first C-RAM was sent to Iraq in late 2006, to protect the Green Zone (the large area in Baghdad turned into an American base). It was found that C-RAM could knock down 70-80 percent of the rockets and mortar shells fired within range of its cannon. In the last two years, Centurion systems in Iraq have intercepted over a hundred rockets or mortar shells aimed at the Green Zone. Not bad, since it only took about a year to develop C-RAM. A Mobile Centurion system, which can cover an area about four kilometers wide, costs $15 million. The manufacturer will be turning out four a month.

•I am nearing the end of my journey
•The path that I walk is almost done,
•Over my shoulder are friends now gone?
•In front of me a life, underpinned by yesterday's fear
•For I am in a world where no one belongs
•Tomorrow I look through the sight for one more time
•My finger, no more the killer and my shoulder,
•Never to feel the recoil of tracers sent.
•I have spent too much time bringing peace to others
•It is time for peace to find me.
•This old warrior has spent too much time in wars arena,
•A soldier's death I will not seek here, for my end is to be with you
•I am leaving this place, where friends gave so much,
•Where sacrifice and loss dwell,
•Where silent widows weep.
•Fate has decided, I'm coming home, coming home to a peaceful life
•To live again with you, in freedom, my beautiful wife.

Home sales in the Northeast of the country soared 82.5 percent, the largest rise since April 1993, while the sales rate in the South set a new record.

Perceptions of control in people with acute low back pain
Roberts, Lisa, Chapman, Judith and Sheldon, Frances (2002) Perceptions of control in people with acute low back pain. Physiotherapy, 88, (9), 543-552. (doi:10.1016/S0031-9406(05)60137-X).
Full text not available from this repository.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate how people with acute low back pain respond to this common symptom and whether they perceive themselves able to influence their back pain episode.
Method: A total of 272 home visits were undertaken with 64 participants. The primary outcome measures for this study were the Multi-dimensional Health Locus of Control forms A (general) and C (condition-specific).
Results: Participants' perceptions of control over their back pain changed over time and were not synonymous with their perceptions about general health. Sex differences were evident, with men perceiving a greater influence of powerful others and chance factors in their acute back pain than women participants.
Conclusion: When people develop back pain, their psychological make-up influences how they respond. Locus of control may be a factor affecting this response and is likely to form part of a broader issue of 'perceived control over health'. The clinical implications for physiotherapists are discussed.

"It's good to be Odd!"
I read this without knowing anything about it previously, but purely because of Dean Koontz (yes, I am a fan----any man who can write like this and loves golden retrievers is OK by me!) This book sharpened my appetite for more of Odd and his interesting life. I find myself casting the movie in my head while listening. And it's terrific! More Odd!!
"This book has it all!"
Jeffery Archer has been a favorite of mine since "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less" way back before audiobooks were even thought of. This book is one of his best, combining history, real characters, probably a little fiction, adventure and romance all rolled into a masterful tale of the guy who probably beat Hillary to the top of Everest by 40 years! We may never know for sure, but the end of the book had me wishing there was more, and I had tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. George Mallory sounds like I guy I would have been honored to know. I recommend this book to anyone who has loved, lived and dreamed!
"This CAN'T be all there is!"
When I saw this fourth Odd Thomas book, I screamed with delight! The character lives on and there is nothing stale about this sequel. Odd just keeps on being the common man's version of Superman without all those pesky special abilities. He's like a combination of McGyver(creative in a pinch),Friar Tuck(surprising in a fight)and Harry Potter without his magic wand(sweet,smart and lovable). This character will live on, I am sure. I recommend this and the previous books in the series. And I love the Golden retrievers that always show up in all of Dean Koontz's stories. It's a bit like Alfred Hitchcock always walking through a scene in every one of his movies. Dean, we hope Odd remains in your lineup!
"Odd characters--great story!"
Who could have thought our man Odd could end up in a monastery with such a collection of characters! And just when you think you have the good guys and the villans figured out, Koontz throws the hook and fouls that line of thinking. He has used the twist ending to it's best in all the Odd books, but this one really had me holding my breath. Great suspense, laced with that comic edge I love about Koontz.
"More Odd!"
Dean Koontz has done it--brought us more Odd. Sorry, Dean, but you can't leave it here! This is a great sequel, with enough creepy stuff to remind you who wrote this, but a sweet developing character that makes you want to know more. His adventures with the real characters and his memory of characters weaves a wonderful story. I recommend Odd to anyone. Warning---you will get hooked!
"Creepy trip down memory lane!"
I read this book about 20 years ago and loved it then. When I listened on Audible, it was every bit as entertaining and scary as I remember, but more like watching a movie! In fact, it should BE a movie! Dean Koontz has a comic side to his horror writing that other writers of this genre don't have. Just when the goosebumps are starting to form, he makes you laugh. And the reader is wonderful. I recommend this book even if you recall reading it long ago as I did.
"Classic creepy King!"
I listened to this with two co-workers and we could not wait to get to work so we could see what was going to happen next! This is SK's best in a long time---classic of the style that made him famous, classic without being predictable. A great read and I will recommend it to a few of my friends who claimed they lost interest in King after "It".
"totally corny and overdone"
I gave this book one star because we don't have the choice of giving the "thumbs down" symbol. (Perhaps you could consider adding that.) I buy a lot of audiobooks and listen to them at work with my coworkers. One is a man who thinks this is great stuff but is embarrassed bt the foul language and descriptions of the completely unrealistic sex fantasies. We all end up making jokes about it. Scott Brick as a narrator sounds like a really bad impersonation of Captain Kirk. The plot and story line has really been compromised by these things. If it were written for the story and not for the sensational fantasies in the characters' heads it might be better. I was gonna say "it must be a guy thing" but even our guy agrees with us. This is my first Barry Eisler book and probably will be my last. And Mr. Eisler is probably happy I am not his editor.

Mac Specs: iMac 20" 2Ghz Core Duo 250GB HD 256MB ATI x1600 2GB RAM 300GB Maxtor Ext HD Firewire 800 Edition
Hey I have 7 minutes of edited DV video, on final cut, that I want to compress to be able to put on the web. I tried using compressor to compress it using codec thats preferably for web downloads. When it entered the batch process window, after i set the codecs and all, it failed. I tried other codecs and it failed too. Is there anything else I can do. Ideally I would like to compress so I can email it. I tried lowering quality, the video has no audio tracks, but no matter what I've done with Exporting as a quicktime movie or using quicktime conversion, it just doesnt seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Help!! |

I still need to learn how to use compressor, but I'm sure you could just export it right from FCP. If you go to Export -> Using QuickTime Conversion. You then have a tonne of options like 'Lan/Internet' or 'Broadband - High' and others. Even custom settings using different dimensions and such. Give it a shot.

(AP) A model of Pablo Picasso's famed Chicago statue will be auctioned next month.
Christie's estimates it will sell for as much as $35 million.
The piece is a sheet metal model of the sculpture that stands in Chicago's downtown Daley Plaza. Picasso created the piece between 1962 and 1964.
The model that goes to auction on Nov. 4 in New York is 41 inches tall and 27 inches wide. It was later made into the 65-foot-tall, welded-iron statue unveiled on Aug. 15, 1967.
Christie's says Picasso saved this model for himself and sent a duplicate to Chicago to be used to create the sculpture. The piece is part of a larger auction of artwork from the private collection of renowned dealer Jan Krugier.

Definition of pilau rice in English:
(In Indian cookery) rice cooked in stock with spices, eaten as an accompaniment to a meat or vegetable dish.
Example sentences
- The biryani, cooked with pilau rice and served with a vegetable curry, was a little hotter than you would expect from a usually mild dish, but that extra spice solicited no complaints.
- Nevertheless, the organisation insists, an average portion of cod and chips contains less than half the fat and significantly fewer calories than a serving of chicken tikka masala and pilau rice or a sweet and sour pork with egg fried rice.
- He went for special vegetable thali from the specialities menu, which consisted of a vegetable curry, mushroom bhaji, tarka dahl (a lentil dish) and vegetable pilau rice.

Morning at the Office. Rainy day but warm. Engaged in writing up my old Index which I intend to supersede all my old Diaries in which there is too much silly matter. Also read a little Law but without any relish. Afternoon reading Clarendon. Account of the confinement of the King. Charles had the misfortune to be a weak king with high notions. He had not character to check his friends, much less his enemies. One reads the History pitying his situation and despising his advisers excepting a few who were not always most prized, such as Clarendon himself, Hopton, Capel, Ormond. Again no letters from home. My father really ought to answer me. I felt very much disappointed. Passed the evening at Dr. Welsh's. Conversation with Miss Harriet. I was rather more cautious.

text: OOPS 2004 Preliminary Call for Papers Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Systems Special Track at the 19th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, SAC 2004 http://OOPS.disi.unige.it March 14-17, 2004 Nicosia, Cyprus The University of Cyprus in Nicosia http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2004 - Important Dates September 6, 2003: Paper Submission October 18, 2003: Author Notification November 8, 2003: Camera-Ready Copy March 14-17 2004: SAC 2004 - SAC 2004 Over past eighteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers around the world to interact and present their work. SAC 2004 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) and is presented in cooperation with other ACM Special Interest Groups. SAC 2004 is hosted by the University of Cyprus in Nicosia, Cyprus. Authors are invited to contribute original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development for various technical sessions of SAC 2004. In tune with the tradition of SAC, there will be a number of special tracks held at SAC 2004. Some of the topics of these special tracks are: Programming Languages, Parallel and Distributed Computing, Agent Systems, Databases, and Object-oriented Programming Languages and Systems. - OOPS Track Today's large scale software systems are typically designed and implemented using the concepts of the object-oriented model. However, there is still a need for the existing OO languages and architectures to continuously adapt in response to demands for new features and paradigms. These new features include topics such as dynamic software evolution, security, safety, distribution, and expressiveness, to name a few. The basic aim of the OO track at the SAC 2004 is to promote and stimulate the research on the object-oriented programming and distributed-object paradigms. This track will foster the development of extensions and enhancements to the prevalent OO languages, like Java, C# and C++, the formulation of innovative OO-based middleware approaches, and the improvements to existing and well-established distributed-object based systems. Specifically, this track promotes papers investigating the applicability of new proposals to widespread, and standard defacto object-oriented languages and distributed-object architectures. A medium to long-term vision is also solicited, tackling general issues about the current and future role of prevalent OO languages and distributed architectures in Computer Science and Engineering. Particularly of interest for this track are those papers that provide a thorough analysis covering several of the following aspects: theory, design, implementation, applicability, performance evaluation, and comparison/integration with existing constructs and mechanisms. Original papers and implementation reports are invited from all areas of OO programming languages and distributed-object computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Programming abstractions * Advanced type mechanisms and type safety * Multi-paradigm features * Language features in support of open systems * Aspect-oriented and Component-based programming * Reflection, meta-programming * Program structuring, modularity, generative programming * Compositional languages * Distributed Objects and Concurrency * Middleware * Heterogeneity and Interoperability * Applications of Distributed Object Computing - Related Tracks For prospective authors of papers that address general advances in programming languages or do not specifically focus on the improvements to the object-oriented domain (e.g., OO languages, OO systems, OO architectures), please also look at the Programming Languages track of SAC 2004 (http://www.ecs.fullerton.edu/~jo/sac/). - Proceedings Papers accepted for the Special Track on Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Systems will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2004 proceedings and in the Digital Library. - Track Chairmen Davide Ancona DISI, Universita' di Genova Via Dodecaneso 35, 16146 Genova, Italy Phone: ++39 (010) 353 6636 mailto:email@example.com http://www.disi.unige.it/person/AnconaD Rajeev Raje Department of Computer and Information Science Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis 723 W.

I currently have the oiled filter that comes with the TRD CAI installed and I am convinced this filter is the reason my CEL keeps coming on.
I am interested in replacing this with a Dry filter and am having a hard time finding exactly what I need. I have seen the AFE Dry filters mentioned a lot, but I am unsure if they make one that matches the square flat filter in the new TRD CAI. All of the pictures and descriptions I have seen are of round ones.
Anyone know if there is a Dry filter that is a replacement for the square flat TRD CAI oiled filter? If so, can you lead me in the right direction? I really hate having a new truck with that darn CEL on.

Rees, C.E. and Bath, P.A. (2001) The use of between-methods triangulation in cancer nursing research - a case study examining information sources for partners of women with breast cancer. Cancer Nursing, 24 (2). pp. 104-111. ISSN 0162-220X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This article describes between-methods triangulation-the combination of research strategies using different methods-and illustrates its use in cancer nursing research by outlining a case study, which identified the information sources for partners of women with breast cancer By combining both qualitative and quantitative data, the study was found to possess good convergent validity Between-methods triangulation also provided a more complete picture of the topic of inquiry than that supplied by either method alone. It is a useful strategy for identifying the information sources for partners of women with breast cancer and its use is encouraged in cancer nursing research.

Drag Shows: Drag Queens and Female Impersonators
Female impersonation appears to have existed through the length of human civilization and the breadth of its cultures. Ancient Roman literature and history feature a multitude of male cross-dressers, while in numerous Native American cultures, cross-dressing berdaches were respected as prophets and seers who were able to glimpse the world through both masculine and feminine perspectives. In the late nineteenth century, Richard von Krafft-Ebing observed in his Psychopathia Sexualis (1887) that the smallest German hamlets often featured drag culture. In contemporary India men who choose to live and dance as women are regarded with particular religious reverence. Female Impersonation and Sexual Identity Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity. For example, many male actors in Elizabethan England and in the classical Chinese theater performed female roles because women were generally banned from the stage. Whether or not these performances blurred the sexual identification of the actors remains a point of debate in social and theater history and a focus of recent films such as Shakespeare in Love (1998) and Farewell My Concubine (1993). Although transvestism, a term coined by Magnus Hirschfeld in 1910 and derived from the Latin for "across" and "dress," is practiced mostly by heterosexual males, the performance of female impersonation has come to be associated particularly with glbtq culture. Why this should be so is not altogether clear, but it may be that gender transgression is a component of sexual transgression or at least evokes empathy among those crossing sexual boundaries, particularly when these boundaries seem difficult to define. Certainly, cross-dressing calls into question rigid constructions of sex and gender. In any case, notwithstanding the fact that most transvestites are heterosexual men who fetishize female clothing, drag has for a very long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture. The origin of the phrase drag queen is unclear. It may derive from Elizabethan slang (quean referring to a strumpet) or may have come to be applied to female impersonators as a consequence of the extravagant drag balls of the earlier twentieth century, a precursor of the drag shows that became associated with gay bars and nightclubs in the period between the world wars. Why is it that a man performing with over-the-top female clothing and exaggerated mannerisms provokes such fascination among gay men? Kate Millett suggested in her landmark study Sexual Politics (1970) that the thrill produced by a drag queen arises through her denaturalization of gender, her demonstration that femininity is donned like a masquerade and rendered completely irrelevant to biology. More recently, Wayne Koestenbaum has observed in his book The Queen's Throat (1993) that drag queens, like opera divas, perform the kind of freedom that most gay men can enjoy only vicariously. Both these explanations may be correct because drag exists in multiple manifestations that individually seem to support both authors' theories. Low Camp and High Camp Drag The drag of low camp, for example, stresses the masquerade itself. In this type of drag, the performer often reclaims fashions and songs that were once serious but that now, many years after their introduction, seem a hysterical failure. The drag queen of low camp evokes this hysteria by emphasizing exactly those features that make the work's failure all the more obvious and entertaining. An impersonator of Connie Francis, for example, may exaggerate the singer's famous early-1960s hairstyle or extend her long breathless notes in order to stress those features that defined her style. That this style no longer reigns makes its status as a masquerade easier to detect and funnier to view. Indeed, the fact that a man dons this masquerade as he plaintively sings "Where the Boys Are" makes it all the more obviously, and comically, a construct rather than any genuine expression of femininity. This is the type of drag whose humor constitutes a gender critique with which gay men can empathetically identify. Performers such as the Kinsey Sicks, Mona Foot, Sherry Vine, The Lady Bunny, and Flotilla de Barge offer good examples of low camp drag. The drag of high camp, by contrast, takes a far more serious approach. This type of performance tends to idealize rather than criticize, offering the impersonation as an authentic expression delivered anew to an adoring audience. For example, an impersonation of Judy Garland might stress her exact look at any one point in her career, or the exact quality of voice she would have possessed at that time. The gay male audience enjoying this kind of impersonation tends not to laugh but to wait on every note with bated and excited breath. Witnessing this type of drag performance, gay men might identify with the diva, allowing her to perform the forceful expressions that they choose to stifle.

There are many different types drug tests out on the market today. Of all drug test types, the urine drug tests are one of the more popularly used forms of drug tests and have been around for many years. More recently added to the various types of drug testing are saliva drug tests which are becoming popular; mainly due to the fact that they are more sanitary and gender friendly. In addition to drug tests, there are tests that will detect the presence of alcohol in saliva or breath. Hair drug test is one of the more accurate drug test methods, but require a laboratory for screening. There are also sweat drug screens that like the other tests, will determine the presence of drugs or their metabolites in the human body. All of the forms of drug testing listed above are often called "rapid tests" because the provide instant drug test results. A laboratory drug test requires the sample (urine or saliva) be sent to the laboratory for evaluation. This method takes longer to get results, but those results are the most accurate and hold up in court.
One of the most recent additions to the different kinds of drug tests is that of Steroids Test. Steroid testing is a Lab Test that detects the presence of steroids in a urine sample provided. Steroid testing is performed by taking a urine specimen and sending it off to a laboratory for confirmation. The test will detect the presence of steroids in the urine sample.For more information on steroids, see What Is A Steroid?
There are five primary types of drug tests: urine, blood, hair, saliva, and sweat. Most common is the urine test which has the benefit of being inexpensive and less intrusive than the blood test.
Urine drug tests are the least expensive of the test methods (from less than $3 for the home drug test version). Urine tests are considered an intrusive method of drug testing. A urine drug test can be done at home (for example by parents) though require lab verification (lab confirmation) for accurate results. These types of tests detect use primarily within the past week (longer with regular drug use). Urine tests can be affected by abstaining from drug use for a period of time before the test. Urine drug test cups are often temperature tested to insure sample integrity. A urine drug test is the best drug test for cost and value.
Saliva drug tests are a little more expensive than urine testing, but less than hair or blood. They range in price beginning at around $14. Saliva tests are considered a relatively nonintrusive method of drug testing. Saliva drug testing is becoming more common as it is easy to administer. Like urine tests, saliva testing requires lab processing to ensure accuracy. The saliva drug test can detect drug use primarily within the past few days (sometimes in as few as 24 hours). These tests can detect more recent use than other testing methods (in as short as one hour after drug use). Saliva drug tests have no nationally accepted standards or cutoff concentrations for detection, making results greatly dependent on the specific product purchased. This could also make results less-reliable and/or acceptable for legal cases. As far as accuracy goes, saliva tests are more reliable for detection of Methamphetamine and Opiates, less reliable for THC or Cannabinoids (2004). If you want a non-intrusive drug test, the saliva drug test is perhaps the best drug test choice.
Hair drug tests are currently several times more expensive than urine tests (start at $58) and are considered a relatively nonintrusive method of drug testing. Hair follicle tests detect substance use over a longer period (up to 90 days, depending upon hair length), but do not usually detect use within the past week. A hair drug test requires a sample of hair about the diameter of a pencil and 1.5 inches long. They can not be done with a single hair. Typically, hair tests positive a little more than twice as often as a urine test. In a recent study, out of 1823 paired hair and urine samples, 57 urine samples tested positive for drugs of abuse; while 124 hair samples from the same group tested positive. Unlike urine or saliva tests, hair drug tests are not significantly affected by brief periods of abstinence from drugs. Hair tests can sometimes be used to determine when use occurred and if it has been discontinued. Drugs, such as opiates (codeine, mophine, heroin) lay down on the hair shaft very tightly and are shown not to migrate along the shaft, thus, if a long segment of hair is available one can draw some "relative" conclusions about when the use occurred. However cocaine, although very easy to detect, is able to migrate along the shaft; making it very difficult to determine when the drug was used and for how long. Labs performing hair tests claim to be able to reliably differentiate between opiate and poppy seed use. Some hair drug tests now check for more than the SAMHSA-5, and include at least Cannabis, Ecstasy/MDMA, Cocaine, Opiates, Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, Phencyclidine (PCP), Benzodiazepines, & Barbiturates. A hair drug test is the best drug test for long term drug testing.
Blood draw drug testing is the most expensive method of testing. It is considered the most intrusive method of testing. Blood drug tests are the most accurate method of testing and are the least common method of drug testing (most likely due to cost). A blood drug test also has a very short detection window for most drugs and therefore not the best drug test to use for most drug testing needs.
Sweat drug tests are considered a relatively intrusive method of drug testing because they require the wearing of a patch for an extended period of time. The sweat patch is still relatively uncommon and are a controversial in terms of accuracy. There is some reason to believe that surface contamination (such as cannabis smoke) can cause a false reading. The sweat drug test can detect use which would not trigger other tests. Because of the short detection period for many drugs in urine, single use of many drugs longer than a week prior to using the patch will not cause a positive urine test. Because the skin patches are gathering sweat over an extended period of time, it is possible that any use during that time will produce a positive result.

2nd day on the mac, and im getting around finally.. however, im having trouble finding the printer conneted to my router.
im using a HP desktop connected to my lynksis 802.11b router, and i have my macbook connected wirelessly to the connection. i used the network assist to connect, but when i add a printer, its no where to be found. i went onto the HP site, and downloaded the drivers for my printer. (photojet 8050) and installed everything, but still it can't see the printer over the air.. any idea's? |

It should all ready be installed on your system. Are you trying to install the HP from system preference->printers, then adding a new printer through IP Printer ?

after doing rescan, and looking for my connection, its not showing. my printer is connected to a windows PC.. im horrible at networking. but this is my setup. from the wall, to the modem. modem to the wireless router. router to PC. PC to printer. the macbook is connected wirelessly on the 802.11b.. i was having a very hard time connecting to the wireless with a WEP key. i had advice doing WAP, but i don't know how to set it up. so.. my main goal isn't security. i dont' store files for the CIA.. i just don't want neighbors jacking my bandwith, so i simply hid the SSID tag, and had to manually enter my wireless connection name. so whats my next step? i have a good printer, its a HP photosmart printer, and ide like to keep it. i dont' print photo's alot, and usually when i do, i put the onto a memory card, and just stick it directly into the card reader slot on the printer. ive also been told, i should look into getting a different printer that is "network compatable"? like being able to connect the printer directly in the back of the wireless router. then hopefully it would reconize it. |

I open up the printing icon, click the plus sign...and nothing. Nothing shows. I have a WiFi connection with my Linksys G, and my HP desktop, through an ethernet connection is also hooked up to my HP printer. My old pc laptop found it just fine. My MBP does't recognize anything. I went on the pc into the control panel and added the OS X and 515? Don't have a clue as to what that means. Also changed to print sharing. Told to go into the terminal and type up some gobbily gook and it asked for a password. It wouldn't even type. God...there has to be an easier way. I know many people have asked, but it seems to friggin difficult. I'm thinking I'll just do all my typing on the pc....I hate to do that, because I enjoy doing work on my laptop.

The problem is inherent to Mac OS and the way it handles ports. Windows doesn't have this problem because on Windows, the driver doesn't care how the printer is physically connected, it just does the basic tasks of a driver. On Mac OS, the driver is usually specifically written for the type of port the printer uses natively (i.e., it expects that the printer will be connected via USB, and if it's not, it just won't give you the option to use that driver).
So, what you need to do is to find a compatible driver that is network-capable. Your mileage may vary depending on the popularity of your model of printer. In many cases, you just need to break down and buy a printer that is network-capable out of the box. The Networking Printers FAQ covers this in more detail. Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics! |

Nice place to go and close to home, great terrain park 01/06/2008 by: Anonymous Most slopes were open. It was good snow boarding. I liked the terrain park. Most of the slopes were thin powder. Good place to go. This was my first time out for this season. More Ratings: |
Decent Day at KB 03/06/2007 by: Jason To be honest, I was expecting to be disappointed with my skiing experience today. Since I took up skiing a few years ago I have only skiied at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville and a recent trip to Stowe, VT. So, the resort had to live up to high expectations. Ultimately, I would say KB did fine. The conditions were great. I didn't think the terrain would be interesting enough, but it was. So I will be happy to make the short drive from Buffalo to Glenwood to ski KB more often. More Ratings: |

Sale Number: 937 |
Lot | Sym. | Lot Description | Est/Cat | Realized |
283 | 24c Carmine Rose & Blue, 1918 Air Post, Grounded Plane (C3 var). Mint N.H., plane dramatically shifted downwards with wheels well into "Cents", pencil "87" position number on back from the Sanabria sheet VERY FINE. A DRAMATIC EXAMPLE OF THE GROUNDED PLANE VARIETY FROM THE SANABRIA SHEET. The true Grounded Plane stamps, in which the wheels of the plane break thru the top of "Cents", come from portions of three sheets. The discovery sheet was owned and broken up by J. Klemann of Nassau Stamp Company. A second sheet was discovered in 1946 and sold in the Thomas A. Matthews sale (H.R. Harmer, Nov. 4, 1964), where it was purchased by Georges A. Medawar, publisher of Sanabria Airmail Catalogue. In Linn's Stamp News of April 21, 1986, specialist Joseph R. Kirker Jr. published his research revealing a third source of this variety. Sanabria backstamp and pencil notation of plate position on back. (Image Magnifier) |

285 | 24c Carmine Rose & Blue, Center Inverted (C3a). Position 13, slightly disturbed original gum, brilliant colors, small thin spots FINE APPEARANCE. LONG THOUGHT LOST TO PHILATELY, THIS INVERTED "JENNY" IS OFFERED AT AUCTION FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE EUGENE KLEIN BROKE APART THE SHEET SHORTLY AFTER ITS DISCOVERY. AN ICONIC STAMP AND FANTASTIC PIECE OF AMERICAN PHILATELIC HISTORY. According to Jenny by George Amick (Amos Press, 1986), the original sheet of 100 Inverted "Jenny" stamps was purchased for $24 by William T. Robey at the New York Avenue Branch Post Office window in Washington D.C., on May 14, 1918, one day after the stamp was first placed on sale at the main post office. On May 20, Robey sold his sheet for $15,000 to Eugene Klein, a Philadelphia stamp dealer. Klein had already arranged to sell the sheet to Col. Edward H. R. Green for $20,000. Colonel Green instructed Klein to divide the Inverted "Jenny" sheet into singles and blocks, and to sell all but a few key position blocks. It is well-known among stamp specialists and professionals that examples of the Inverted "Jenny" come in different grades of freshness and condition. Many of the original 100 stamps were mistreated by collectors during the years, despite the stamps' rarity and value. Colonel Green himself allowed moisture to affect some of the stamps he retained. Other examples have become slightly toned from improper storage and climatic conditions. Hinge removal has caused thins and creases in numerous stamps, and a few have been "lost" to philately -- or nearly so, as in the case of the copy swept up in a vacuum cleaner. Ex Colonel Green. With 2007 P.F. certificate. (Image Magnifier) |
